Leveraging LEED Design Strategies for WELL: Thermal Comfort, Light, Water and Sound Video, 58 minutes

How do you demonstrate both environmental and health performance in a meaningful way? 

USGBC and IWBI are increasing the alignment between their programs. Knowing how to leverage each in a mutually beneficial way is the key to driving successful integration of a dual certification approach. 

LEEDuser’s expert guests, Mohammad Abbasi and Maeve Donohue of WSP, explain how LEED and WELL mesh—and how they don’t. Get armed with a series of ‘credit-feature crosswalks’ that synthesize the consistencies and highlight the key differences between LEED and WELL requirements related to thermal comfort, light, water, and sound

CEUs available.
